Overview
Property code: OC-COQ106

Nestled within a collection of 250-year-old sycamore trees, this 200-year-old holiday home near Seahouses offers elegant accommodation for up to 11 guests exploring the Northumberland coastline. Seahouses Beach is just 1 mile away, and with its many shops, restaurants and a picturesque harbour, it's easy to lose a day in this popular village. For an exciting adventure, catch a boat from the harbour and head over to the Farne Islands, where wildlife spotters will love catching glimpses of the resident seals and puffins. For seasoned walkers, enjoy a stroll along the Northumberland Coast Path or venture inland to discover many scenic trails in the Northumberland National Park (20 miles). When you want to slow down adventures, this unique property offers access to a members-only leisure club for a small fee, featuring a swimming pool, spa, treatments, a gym, and a bistro.

Enter this 200-year-old property, where muddy boots can be deposited in the main entrance hall. Step into the welcoming lounge to discover a cleverly designed space with seating positioned around the wood burner and TV, and colourful decor that provides a cheery atmosphere. Move into the dining room, where another wood burner takes central stage and through to the modern kitchen, which hosts all the appliances and kitchenware needed for a comfortable stay. Put your laundry on in the utility here, before soaking in the rays in the sunroom. When night falls, take your pick from five beautifully designed bedrooms: a spacious super king-size on the ground floor, along with two super-king-size, one king-size room and a twin upstairs. Each bedroom benefits from access to its own en-suite shower room, while one of the super-king-size rooms also enjoys a bathroom complete with a spa bath for indulgent soaks.

The enclosed garden is a fantastic size for kids and dogs, and with the addition of the Kota, featuring full BBQ facilities, we're convinced you'll spend lots of time out here dining and soaking up the sun. Alternatively, and for a small fee, spend the day at the members-only leisure club, where you can swim in the pool, take part in a weights session or enjoy a soothing spa treatment. The property features private parking for four cars.

We booked the Old Manse for a holiday to bring all 11 members of our family together. The house suited us perfectly with large comfortable en suite bedrooms for each couple and the children. The large garden was great for al fresco dining and for playing games. The location is a comfortable walk away, down a footpath along the old railway track, frRead moreom Seahouses and its harbour and beaches. Another path goes direct to the beach. Lovely walks to Bamburgh and elsewhere are possible without using the car, while there are numerous visitor attractions within a c 30 minute car drive. Hide

A good property, wecome pack excellent, really lovely garden. Barbecue hut unexpected and and a great hit with the kids. Beds very comfortable. Cleanliness not so good, dog hair, old cereal under dining table and some pans that needed washing before they could be used, also a very strong smell of dog in the downstairs bedroom was unpleasant.

We stayed at The Old Manse for 7 nights as a multi generational family of 6 adults and 4 young children. Overall we had a super week. The property easily accommodated us all and each bedroom had an en-suite bathroom with shower. The beds were super comfy and everyone slept well. The property is in a great location near the coast with lots to do in Read morethe local area without having to drive too far! The garden was perfect for the children to play in being fully enclosed and visible from the wrap around conservatory. The children (and adults) enjoyed the novelty of having the Kota hut for barbecues. The kitchen was very well equipped with lots of cups, cutlery and crockery and the welcome pack provided was excellent (the best weve had) We took advantage of the Ocean Club membership and visited the pool there (chargeable) on one afternoon which got a thumbs up! David, the host, contacted us on the first night with lots of helpful info for our stay. Hide

Lovely house and wonderful gardens but let down by the standard of housekeeping. It really needs a deep spring clean. The fridge is far too small for a sleep 10 house. One tea towel is not adequate for a week! We couldnt use the bbqs as they were so greasy, and the oven was nearly as bad. We knew the house accepted dogs but didnt expect to find as Read moremany dog hairs, particularly in the conservatory. I had to clean out the cutlery drawers of food debris. Thankfully there was a dishwasher. However the house is in a great location - just a short walk into Seahouses, and a lovely walk to the beach down the path opposite. The gardens are super. It was great having each bedroom ensuite. Hide

We visited and stayed for a few days as a multi-generational family and we really enjoyed it. The house is very well-catered for, every room was very comfortable and there was plenty of room for our party of 10. The only suggestion that we have is to improve the water pressure of the shower upstairs. There was a lovely garden and we managed to enjoRead morey the sunshine and a delicious bbq on one of the days. Hide
